The gold leaf. [volume] (Henderson, N.C.) 1881-1911, 1887-09-22

/ SHUT THEM 1ssIDE.-The city authorities
of Greensboro have passed an ordinance
requiring front gates to swing inward.
Now il our town commissioners would do
likewise. many citizen would rise up and
called them blessed. There is no sense in
for one half the time many of them are
left standing open, TO the annoyance Of
people passing along the sidewalks. This
is especially the case here since the stock
law took effect. There being no hogs and
cows to shut out of the yards now some
people seem to think the gates are of no
further use only for the children to swing
on. Let them be knocked off or made to
swing inside.
CLEANLINESS NEXT TO GoDLINEss-We
cannot too often impress upon eur citizens
the importance of exercising the utmost
care in keeping their premises in thorough
sanitary condition at this season of the
year. Cleanliness is next to godliness, and
to be truly happy and healthy we should
be clean, not only about our persons, but
also about our homes. During this season,
when there is so much garbage and decayed
vegetable matter to look after, it behooves
every individual housekeeper to be exceed
ingly diligent and careful in performing
this most important of home duties. These
injunctiOns apply to all households, rich
as we'll as poor. The most attractive homes
are not always associated with the rich,
for very often the modest home OF the
laborer or mechanic is charming, simply
cleanliness.
i GRAPE SHoTs.-By special invitation
number of the members of the Tobacco
Board Of Trade, the editor of the GOLD
LEAF among the party. assembled under
meath and around tie sides of large Soup
pernong arbor at Mr.. ". Z. Gary's country
, seat just on the South west edge of town
Tuesday afternoon. While the attendance
was not large one, considering the num-
Der of members invited. it was full one
ere they left, and it is sEA a question of
debate as to who was the champion eater
of the crowd. The honors appeared to be
about evenly divided between Owen Davis,
Pony" Roberts and Lew Gooch, with the
IL
the apprehensions of his friends were we'll
founded.
1t is needless to say this was one of the
most enjoyable meetings the Board has
held in some time and that the kindness Of
friend Gary was appreciated to the fullest
extent by all present.
DIsHONEsT.-SOme of the subscribers of
! the Edenton Enquirer have evidently been
stopping their paper, (they generally do it
By leaving it in the postofflce to let the
postmaster notify the publisher that it is
not taken out), as the following indicates.
The Enquirer says:
Honest men will pay what they owe for
the paper, whether it be for subscription
for one month OF one year, before ordering
it to be discontinued. We have always
gained two subscribers where we have lost
one, and we say here that no honest man
who is able to do so will refuse or neglect
to pay his subscription or whatever of it is
due before ordering his paper stopped.
Some men won t pay their debts, and have
to be reminded of their obligations. If
they take Offense we cannot help it.
The GOLD LEAF has had some little ex-
rerience with such creatures as this, but
when it parted company with them it lost
nothing but the amounts that they dishon-
estly withheld from us, and in this we are
the gamers. cit takes all sorts of folks
to make a world" and from the editorial
desk in newspaper Office is mighty good
place to find them out.

| ROsH HAsHANAH.-There are rot many
Hebrews in Henderson, but those few are
good citizens and we would like to have
more of their kind. They are thrifty and
enterprising, quiet and peaceable, and
while conforming with our laws they hold
to the tenets of their people and scrupu-
lousy observe the religious ceremonies Of
their church and creed. At sunset Sunday
commenced the Hebrew festival of Rosh
/ Hashanah, or New Years Day, which is
observed by that people, Orthodox and Re-
! formed. throughout the world. 1t is the
| beginning of the year 1913, of the Jewish
era, which dates from the Mosaic creation
of the world. In the celebration of this
festival. which is considered one of the
most important in the calendar, all classes
and sects of Jews unite. This is the first
day Of the month Tishri. and OH the tenth
day occurs the solemn fast day Yom Kip
! pur, or Day of Atonement. The DAYS be-
tween Rosh Hashanah and the fast day of
Yom Kippur are known aS the Penitential
DAYS, and are devoted by devOut Israelites
